I think it might cement my point even better to highlight that even someone who would write such an article can still miss the mark. My main point was more to illuminate how we in OSS should be trying to steer our thinking about our goals. So, if you can show where I confused the audience, please post it so that I can link back with some supporting comment, eh? --T Lloyd:

The naming and difficulty of installation (or at least the perception of) has kept me away from fully adopting oss as a solution. Naming goes a long way, as does the marketing efforts of enthusisasts and developers. And I'd sign up for that Beavis gig anyday! Too funny. :) That was a good article and the first time I heard someone from the OS community suggest that there might be lay or not 100% techie people interested in OSS/linux.
